most of the bullies I remember from school were not known for their regular church attendance random thoughts Send a noteboard - 14/10/2010 07:24:06 PM
Have you ever been to a fundamentalist church? I know that when you look at how they are portrayed in the media and pop culture they seem like nothing but fire and brimstone fire breathers but the reality is much different. The few that I have attended made me uncomfortable with all the touchy feely love crap. Lots of hand holding and swaying lots of talk about love and commitment.

I am not saying that sort of church doesn’t exist but they are by far the minority.
